Hi Dave,

 RH> OK, good to get other opinions. I know I've got at least one recipe in
 RH> a cook book I picked up in AZ, and probably others, so I should be able
 RH> to make a decent rendition of chili verde.

 DD> I learned about chile verde frpm MSGT (Ret) Jerry Simmons a two time
 DD> ICS World Champion who made a mean pot of green.

Army? Wonder if he was ever stationed in TX or AZ? I've read about chili
verde, read different recipies, but have always made either the family
friendly chili (with my adaptations) that I grew up with or the
competition style I riffed from a Mr. Food's recipe.


 DD> He always said it's about the flavour of the green chilies more than
 DD> the heat - although you do need *some* heat.  Bv)=

Agreed, but not "blow your socks off" heat.

Lookks good but I think I'd leave out the cilantro. Steve can pick up
the taste of even just a small amount. I can take a bit of it, but my
tolerance level seems to be getting lower each year.
